ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for cropping and inspecting the end of a coil of sheet metal has a cradle dimensioned and oriented to support the coil with its axis horizontal, a drive for rotating the coil on the cradle about a horizontal cradle axis, a stationary lower blade spaced horizontally from the cradle, and a roller-type conveyor extending horizontally from the cradle to the lower blade. An upper blade pivotal about a horizontal blade axis toward and away from the lower blade can be pivoted down against the lower blade to sever the sheet metal between the blades. An opening element pivotal about an opening axis toward and away from the coil on the cradle can move independently of the cutter blades so as to pivot between an inner position radially engaging the coil on the cradle and an outer position immediately adjacent the conveyor. Thus when the coil is rotated about the cradle axis in a direction to unwind it and the opening element is displaced from the inner to the outer position the sheet-metal of the coil is unwound and laid on the conveyor.
